Only one model gallery relating to
WW1 was sent in for this update, so only one model will appear, a
German Triplane. I have included quite a few items below
relating to the end of the 14 -18 War, The Great War, The War To End
All Wars, World War One or WW1.
A somber day indeed, even 100
years later. All countries paid a horrible price for this war
in human terms. France lost a whole generation of young men
and I can't help but feel sad for all the young French girls that
might not have found a man to marry in that Generation that was
Lost. Many Empires fell after WW1 and more Empires were
critically wounded and fell later after WW2. WW1 lead to WW2
and with the collapse of Empires after WW2, many colonial countries
gained their independence. We still feel the ripples through
time from this great conflict 100 years ago with poorly drawn lines
on maps leading to further conflicts etc. And it all was
started by one young Serbian student with a gun.....just the actions
of one individual set the spark for all this painful history to
unfold over the past 100 years. But that one student wasn't to
blame, societies had moved in conflicting directions leading to
tensions and the eventual conflict. Sadly even today leaders
move in conflicting directions putting their national greed ahead of
the good of humanity. Sadly we have learned little in 100
years.
Lest We Forget.

His
words are called to mind every year on 11 November
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) was a Canadian poet,
physician, author, artist and soldier during World War I, and a
surgeon during the Second Battle of Ypres, in Belgium. He is best
known for writing the famous war memorial poem "In Flanders
Fields". McCrae died of pneumonia near the end of the war.
This is
a colourised version of a sepia portrait
of him
taken in 1916.
"In Flanders Fields"
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead, short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
A collection of his poetry, In Flanders Fields and Other Poems
(1918), was published after his death.
Today, the poppy the internationally recognized symbol of
Remembrance Day owes its significance to McCraes poem,
written, the Canadian War Museum notes, while sitting on the back
step of an ambulance near his medical aid post. "In the field
around him, crosses marked the graves of dead soldiers, including
those of (his best friend Alexis) Helmer and other Canadians killed
the previous day
Poppies grew in the area at the time and
McCraes own notes refer to birds singing despite the noise of
battle."

Nicholas John Gunther (June 6, 1895 November 11, 1918) was
an American soldier and the last soldier of any of the belligerents
to be killed during World War I. He was killed at 10:59 a.m., one
minute before the Armistice was to take effect at 11 a.m. |
|
 |
Last French Soldier to die in WW1
Augustin-Joseph Victorin Trιbuchon (30 May 1878 11 November
1918) was the last French soldier killed during World War I. He was shot 15 minutes before the Armistice came into effect, at 10.45am on 11 November
1918. The French Army, embarrassed to have sent men into battle after the armistice with the Germans had been signed, recorded the date of his death as earlier by one day. |
|
 |
Last British Empire Soldier to die in WW1

Lawrence Price. Private George Lawrence Price (Regimental
Number: 256265) (December 15, 1892 November 11, 1918) was a Canadian

Last German Soldier to die in WW1
The final German soldier killed was a Lt Erwin Alexander Thomδ who was shot by American troops who had not heard of the ceasefire, when he walked towards them to tell them they could billet in the buildings his men had been using as they had vacated it. A very sad story, and as far as I know the final loss of the war.
Erwin Alexander Thomδ
born 7th October 1896 lived in Stuttgart and was a merchant by profession
He entered the army of the Kingdom of Wόrttemberg as a volunteer on 7th April 1915 and came to the
Ulanen-Regiment
"Kφnig Karl" (1. Wόrttembergisches) Nr. 19.On 30th July 1915 he came to the 4th Eskadron of the Ulanen-Regiment Nr. 19 and went into the
field.
On 1st February 1917 he came to 2nd Eskadron of the Ulanen-Regiment Nr. 19.
During the war he saw service at the Western and the Italian front.
He was killed 11th November 1918 by an infantery bullet at Inor near Stenay (France)
His body was returned to Germany and reburied in 1923. Sadly his grave
has no marker. |
